overwritten, and the memory contents at the memory positions numbered as the
number of curves copied plus 1 through 16 remain unchanged.
During execution of the copying operation, the MEMORY index display
indicates that identifier number of the source currently being copied . When the
copying of the curve is complete, the copying of the front panel setups begins,
following the same type of sequence as for the curves.
. When copying, the 370B does not accept any type of interrupt.
ENTER. The ENTER control stores the currently displayed STORE or VIEW
curves in the mass storage. The Memory Index display indicates the memory
location where the current display will be stored. The Enter function is not used
with the NON STORE display mode.
If the ENTER buttons is pressed while holding down the PAST/SHIFT button,
the function of this button changes to COPY. This copy function can be used to
copy simultaneously up to 16 characteristic curves and up to 16 front panel
setups from non-volatile memory to floppy disk.
Before using this function, the MEMORY buttons must be set to the starting
position in memory for the destination of the data to be copied.
If the ENTER button is pressed while holding down the FAST/SHIFT button,
the “PRESS ENTER” message is displayed for about five seconds. If the
ENTER button is pressed during this time, copying begins. If the ENTER button
is not pressed, the function is cancelled, and the message “COPY CAN-
CELLED” is displayed. Copying starts with the characteristic curve data,
followed by front panel setup data. Copying of curve data starts by writing this
data at the specified starting position in memory position number 1, followed by
the next curve data being copied into memory position number 2, and so on.
At the point at which 16 curves are written from non-volatile IC memory to
floppy disk, the copying of the curve data is terminated. However, should the
number of stored curves be less than 16 when the memory position for identifier
number 80 is reached, the copying of the curves is completed when all the curves
are copied. In this case, not all the contents stored into IC memory will be copied
onto floppy disk.
During execution of the copying operation, the MEMORY index display
indicates that identifier number of the destination. When the copying of the curve
is complete, the copying of the front panel setups begins, following the same
type of sequence as for the curves.
